Founders

Early in my career, the company I was with downsized and asked the ~30 of us to decide who stayed or left. 

The reasoning was that those ready to leave could raise their hand and help their friends stay.

You're a founder—what do you think of this approach?

This ain’t survivor 😭 these are people lives you’re playing with. 

Would’ve left regardless of whether my colleagues picked me or not. Horrible way to downsize. Sounds like the founder felt so much guilt that it overrode their senses for picking the actual valuable ppl to stay
